"Why, you didn't strike," said the boy sharply. "Well, you can't strike 'em till you've got hold of them," retorted Dexter; and the shabby-looking boy laughed. "Yah!" he said; "you don't know how to fish." "Don't I! Why, I was taught to fish by some one who knows all about it." "So it seems," said the boy jeeringly. "Don't even know how to strike a fish.

Your words are worse than the poison of snakes.
"I hev seen many a gal who could shoot ez well ez ye kin, better," continued Jack jeeringly. "But law! I needn't kerry my heavy bones down thar in the hollow expectin' ter git a deer ter-day.
